Snc 1rlcd the Soup.
the Boston Courier.

From the Boston Courier.
The inadvisibility of knowing too
much what goes on in ones own house
was illustrated the other day by an
incident which happened in Back
Bay mansion. The table girl was
sick. aud the doctor had ordered her
taking broth. A daughter OF the
house, moved by charitable impulse,
herself carried the broth to the pa
tient, but the invalid absolutely re-
fused TO touch it.
"Did Annie make it?" she asked,
Annie being the cook.
"Yes." was the answer. "She made
IN on purpose for you"
"Then | won't taste it," the sick
girl insisted querulously. 81 seen An
ME Mcguire put her finger in the soup
every day since she's been in the
house. to see how hot it is, and Ican't
taste itl'
And moved by the memory OF a
long succession of finger-tested soups
she burst into hysterical weeping.
There was vacancy in the kitchen in
that house very soon after, and the
first question the mistress asks ofeach
candidate for the place OF cook now
is:
"How do you tell when the soup is
hot enough to server"

Writing from Chicago correspond
ent OF the Syracuse Courier tells thu
following Of ex-Secretary Lincoln;
Abraham Lincoln's son found him
sell on his fathers death we'll equip
ped for the battle OF life. He had
been carefully educated and reared
and was n robust young man OF twen'
| ty.two. Nor did he waste any time
in getting at his work. Coming direct.
| ly to Chicago, he resumed the study
OF law which he had begun at Har.
ward, and was admitted to the bar in
1867. An old and wealthy friend Of
his fathers, j. Young Scammon, took
HIM IN as his partner, and practically
turned over to him large business.
He at once found himself in charge OF
several large estates, and devoted
himself to their care with such
industry and business keen
ness that his reputation began
growing in the right direction almost
from the outset. AT the very begin
ming OF his career as u full-Hedged law
yer an incident occurred which has
seemingly exerted marked influence
upon him from that day to this. A
man named Hume wanted to lease q
house. Lincoln, with his usual eau
ton, determined to learn something
OF the applicants character, and SO
sent for Fernando Jones, and old
friend OF his fathers, who had been
Hume's landlord. Jones obeyed the
summons, and walked up two flights
OF stairs to the young lawyers office,
"You have sent for me and here am.
What can do for your" said the call
err, who was prominent and wealthy
citizen. Lincoln had only begun his
inquiry concerning Hume, when Jones
interrupted him:
II like your zeal, Mr.. LINCOLN" he
Enid, "and think you are starting out
well in thus making inquiries concern
ing the character OF your proposed
tenants. But even ii you are the son
OF o. martyred president, don't
you think that when you
want to see q gentleman,
particularly an elderly man, on bust
ness, in which you are interested and
he is not it would be better for you
to make the call, instead OF summon
Ing the other tc your officer bid
you good day, Mr.. Lincoln"
Fifteen minutes later Robert Lin
coin was at the Office OF Fernando
Jones.
II have come, Mr.. JONES'" he began
ito apol'-
"Not another word, Robert. AS
for this man Hume. he is q Safe ten
ant. He pays promptly. by the
yours?" w
And the old gentleman led the con-
vers9tion as far as possible from the
object OF the young lawyers visit.
But this lesson was one which Robert
Lincoln never forgot. He was young
then, and it came just in time. Never,
siuce that day. has he been known to
presume upon his fathers fame, or
make effort TO profit or gain personal
Importance or dignity on that &C.
count.

The rural idea OF the manner in
which the Astcrs and Vanderbilts live
is amusing, and will doubtless be
highly flattering TO the persons NAM

Costumes One Hundred Years


A new volume OF Lecky's History
OF England in the Eighteenth Cen"
tury," just issued. Such topics ars
discussed as dress and manners, pop
ular amusements, the theatre, Eng
fish art, the popularization OF knowl'
edge, class changes, agriculture, etc.
Under the first OF these headings the
sobriety OF the clothing OF the present
day is contrasted with the brilliant
costumes worn even by men from 100
to $50 years ago.
Balancing first OF all at the upper
orders. we shall be at once struck
with immense change which has passed
over male attire since the Eighteenth
Century. The contqst OF color between
male and female dress which is now W
conspicuous then hardly existed; and
rank, wealth and pretension were
still distinctly marked by costly and
elaborate attire. Nor was this simply
true OF the "bucks," 'beaux," "frib-
bles," "macaronis" and "dandies"
represented in successive periods the
extremes or the eccentricities OF fash
ion. The neutral dress scarcely differ
ing in shape or color which now as.
Stimulates all classes from the peer to
the shop keeper was still unknown,
and q mode of attire was in frequent
use which survives only in court dress,
in the powdered footmen OF few
wealthy houses, in city pageants, in
the red coats OF the hunting field, and
in the gay coloring OF the military uni
forms. The pictures OF Reynolds and
Gainesborough have made the fash
ionable attire OF their period too ia
miliar to need detailed descrlp-
ton, and it may be abundant
ly illustrated from contempor.
airy literature. Thus, when Lord
Derwentwater mounted the scatfcld,
he was dressed in scarlet. faced with
black velvet and trimmed with gold,a
gold-laced waist-coat, and a white
feather in his hat. DR.. Cameron went
to execution in light-colored coat,
read waistcoat and breeches and q
bag wig. One OF Selwyn's correspond
ents describes well-!;nown highway
man VINO affected lne UiIS VI
fashion as going to Tyburn dressed in
blue and gold frock and wearing @
white cockade as ap emblem OF inno-
cence. DIR. Johnson's usual attire was
full suit OF plain brown clothes, with
twisted hair buttons of the same col
or, black worsted stockings, large
bushy, grayish wig and silver buckles;
but on the night when his play OF
"1rene" was first acted he thought it
right to appear in the theater in a
scarlet waistcoat, with rich gold lace,
and q gold-lace hat. Goldsmith went
out as q physician in purple silk small
clothes, and with q scarlet roquelaure,
a sword and gold-headed cane, and
he had other suits which were equally
conspicuous. Wilkes wrote to his
daughter in Paris, in ITO, asking her
to beg Baron Holbach to purchase
Tor him scarlet cloth OF the finest sort
and color TO make q complete suit OF
clothes, and the most fashionablegold
buttons for the whole. He is described
by one OF his friends, walking to town
from house which he had taken at
Kensington, usually attired either in
scarlet or orr ensuit edged with gold"
